My Life Monday: Decision to Work from Home

November 12, 2007

“What made you decide to work from home?”

Most people probably think it was the birth of my first born son. And although he was the reason I took the big step into quitting my job and working from home, he isn’t the only reason.

You see, I began looking for a job (or way to work from home) long before I had my son. I began working part time from home before I had my son and really enjoyed it. I loved the freedom of working from home, but just didn’t have the courage to quit my job and do it full time.

I needed that extra push in order to take the chance. I had thought of “what if this work doesn’t provide steady income?” I couldn’t break out of that mindset until my son forced me to.

I’ve been working full time from home since 2004 & I haven’t looked back once. There have been ups and downs along the way…the downs were never so bad that the ups didn’t outweigh them though.

I don’t see my professional life changing … although I would like to take my business offline eventually and create a seminar (locally) teaching people about telecommuting, that is the most I see myself getting out in the “real world” with my career, though.

What about you? What made you decide to work from home? Leave me an answer in the comments below.
